NEED HELP!!! Starting a Sickle Cell Awareness Campaign for Feb w/ Black Panther

[playahaitian]

Thank you ALL for your help a few months back

http://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/ne...ughters-sickle-cell-walk-in-september.963085/

I'm calling on the team AGAIN for February...

I know its Black History Month

and the Black Panther premiere

but I think it would be the PERFECT time to start some type of social media cause to raise awareness for this disease.

Cause if there REALLY was a Black Panther?

He would definitely be searching for a cure...

Ironically enough the ACTUAL Black Panthers were very active in Sickle Cell Awareness.

So all my writers, directors, bloggers, photographers, artists, consultants, lawyers, managers, musicians, pod-casters, actors, dancers, etc...

Can we mobilize once AGAIN to spread the word?

All ideas are welcome....

Peace

Just thinking out loud.

We need a sickle cell awareness page on Facebook. Something that leads to the local charities' websites. I'll donate some money towards promoting it.

Also I'm going to start Instagram DJing at the end of the month. I'll include links and promotion as well.

The sickle cell anemia disease is a kind of inherited condition that can affect various organs of the body including the blood. The disease affects the red blood cells that cause sickling and produce pain and other types of symptoms. The sickle cell anemia can trigger conditions like infection, colds, low oxygen and dehydration. The disease is common to those individuals with family origin and the disease is commonly inherited by most of the babies that born in the UK. The main cause of the disease is inherited. It is a sudden change in the genes that have the ability to tell the body to produce the well-known protein which is hemoglobin.

The hemoglobin is located in the red blood cells that carry oxygen and give the blood its red color. The diagnosis of the sickle cell anemia is done through a blood test. A blood sample is used in order to see the type of hemoglobin that you have in your blood. This test is called hemoglobin electrophoresis. Lifelong monitoring and treatment is commonly needed in order to treat the sickle cell anemia disease and with the help of a variety of treatments, you can prevent other symptoms of the disease like infection.

September is Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month, and for actor Larenz Tate, that means spreading the word about a chronic disease that disproportionately affects the African-American community.

"It's really important to know if you carry the disease," says Tate, 36, who recently costarred on FX's Rescue Me and in BET's made-for-TV movie Gun Hill, which premieres this fall.

As many as 100,000 people in the United States have the disease, which causes red blood cells to resemble sickles or crescents. The misshapen cells can reduce blood flow, which starves vital organs of oxygen and can lead to chronic fatigue and intense pain.

Many people who don't have the disease carry a gene for it. Screening is essential, a message Tate will spread this month via Facebook and Twitter (@LarenzTate). "If you can prevent the disease, you can really make a difference in someone's life," says Tate.
